Guides, comparisons and insights from inside a lami tube factory.
Written by our packaging and manufacturing team — for brand owners, formulation chemists and procurement teams who need to make real decisions about tube packaging.
Groovy Retro Tube Designs Don’t Excuse Vintage-Style Leaks
Quirky nostalgic artwork catches eyes on retail shelves, but 1980s-era seam failures ruin brand equity. Here is how modern burst and torque testing keep retro tubes secure.
Low Minimum Order Quantities for ABL and PBL Tube Production
Flexible production lines and standardized setup protocols enable accessible minimum order quantities for engineered ABL and PBL tubes without inventory overcommitment.
Color Matching Protocols Under Standardized D65 Plant Lighting
A technical breakdown of how standardized D65 lighting environments, digital spectrophotometry, and ink formulation controls prevent metamerism and maintain Delta E consistency across multi-layer laminated tube runs.
How Multi-Layer PBL Tubes Protect Active Cosmetic Formulations
Active cosmetic ingredients like vitamin C and retinol degrade rapidly upon oxygen exposure. Multi-layer PBL tubes use an EVOH barrier core to prevent oxidation while retaining full elastic bounce-back.
Precision Shoulder Welding for Multi-Layer Laminated Tubes
Consistent shoulder welding is critical to preventing formulation leakage and preserving barrier integrity across multi-layer laminated tubes.
Matte and Gloss Combination Varnishes for Visual Brand Hierarchy
Learn how combining matte and gloss varnishes on multi-layer laminated tubes establishes clear visual hierarchy without affecting barrier performance.
ABL vs PBL Tubes: which laminated tube construction should you choose?
Both ABL and PBL are laminated tubes — but the barrier layer is different, and that one difference changes everything: shelf life, recyclability, cost, and which brands you can credibly compete with.
What are Lami Tubes? A complete guide to laminated tube packaging
If you've ever squeezed toothpaste from a tube, you've used a lami tube. Here's the full story: how they're made, why they replaced metal and plastic, and how to spec one for your product.
